  1. 3.0L "Tornado" Straight-Six Engine (GME T6) Coming to Various Jeep Models

    A 41% drop in range for the gasser is going from 17mpg to 10. Pretty normal for towing mode from what has been written.
  2. High Beam Dipping of Driving Lights / LED Bar

    I may be wrong but are not driving lights focused for long distance roadway illumination and not close up, wide angle like the main lighting? I had halogen driving lights on my MG's and Volvo and they were great back when the roads were dark and sealed beams were the norm but never a problem to...
  3. 3.0L "Tornado" Straight-Six Engine (GME T6) Coming to Various Jeep Models

    Less displacement is some how going to be better? Turbo lag any one? Hey Stellantis, cut the crap and build a 4.5 litre Pentastar that has stump pulling torque down low and does not need to rev out like a sportbike just to "make" horsepower.
  4. Advice wanred

    Restrain your pet with a harness and seat belt link. You do the same for children, right? If you really want the barrier, try LE supply vendors. Code Blue?
  5. Tailgate freezes shut.

    Reminds me of the time we had a warm spring weekend in Nebraska so I washed the Charger. That night we had a hard freeze. Next morning the lock cylinder shutter flap thingy would not budge. I used a lighter flame against the key touching the thingy. It worked. We never had these problems in the...
  6. Okay which one of us is this? Bad driver, language warning

    I have been riding 50+ years and did 12 as an MSF Instructor. The M/C rider is, IMO, mostly at fault. The other guy made a not wise move but that is life. I will say that it is riders like that who give the rest of us a bad rep. (P.S.--I ride sportbikes and cafe racers so I know the MO)
  7. Traded 41 day old 4xe for gladiator rubicon

    If the software sees the battery pack as not ready due to low temps, it may fault out. The IC engine would then be the prime mover. The way around the problem in my motorcycles is to energize the electrical system for 30 seconds with the headlight on. This puts a load on the cold battery which...
  8. Traded 41 day old 4xe for gladiator rubicon

    I know from experience with lithium starting batteries that cold weather can be their kryptonite. The first one with A123 cells would not crank the Benelli below 60 deg. F. Even my Shorai LiFePo unit needs to be given a wake up call below 40.
  9. Unintentional paint test

    Station owners do not want their employees to call authorities in case of a spill. The site would be shut down during the cleanup and possibly during the EPA Environmental Impact Investigation. Training procedures would be scrutinized. Loss of revenue and possible fines. Probably not prudent to...
  10. Unintentional paint test

    I repaired the gasoline delivery and computer systems for many years. I have seen the person you speak of at every job site. You cannot fix stupid. I always look for the "E-Stop" button when I drive up. Habit. Your paint should be fine but the plastics may be affected. Wash and rinse.
  11. Gladiator/Wrangler Theory

    Now that I think about it... I don't think I've personally seen a single woman driving a Gladiator... (and by single I mean a number... not their marital status! ?) I saw one here at the fuel stop. Her name was Butch.
  12. Gladiator/Wrangler Theory

    Marketing works! Jeremy Ever notice how commercials use women to pitch a product? (Pharmaceuticals) Mom was always right, eh? Eventually we get Girlymen. The Age of Barnum.
  13. Is this normal?

    Water vapor/humidity is ingested during the intake stroke and makes its way through the exhaust system. After 1975, catalytic converters added greatly to the amount of water produced and mild steel exhaust components quickly rusted out. Now we have stainless components that cost more but last...
  14. Which one of you is an idiot

    Especially when she takes the bike off the roof, drives past the height guage, stops, re-attaches the bike and drives into the automated car wash. New Suburban with paper tags. Happened at the 76 station in St. Andrews, SC. I was there.
  15. Gladiator/Wrangler Theory

    Jeep is a brand, not a model. Unless we are talking about Eugene.
  16. Gladiator/Wrangler Theory

    Dad told me "when you make the money, YOU can buy whatever YOU want." Made sense then and now.
  17. The GATEKEEPER Driveway ?

    Mr. Barnum is credited with "There's a sucker born every minute" so I will start referring to these things as Barnums along with the owners of such. Building on high ground is one thing, but this is nope to the infinite power.
